Former Qwest chief executive Joe Nacchio has renewed his bid to remain free.

In a court filing late Thursday, Nacchio’s attorney asked U.S. District Judge Marcia Krieger to reconsider the request for bail pending a Supreme Court review of his insider trading conviction. Krieger denied a similar motion Thursday, stating that it was “premature” because Nacchio had yet to file his Supreme Court petition.

Nacchio’s attorney Maureen Mahoney contends that other courts have previously ruled on such requests before a filing to the high court had been made.

As an alternative, Mahoney requests that Krieger conditionally postpones her order mandating Nacchio report to prison by noon on March 23 to begin serving his six-year term. Mahoney would then file the Supreme Court petition by March 20, a week earlier than previously stated, as well as another request for bail with Krieger on the same date.

As part of that request, Mahoney wants Krieger to postpone the prison order by up to 14 days after she rules on the bond motion, so the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court can rule on the same motion, if necessary.

Separately, Nacchio has another motion pending to postpone the date his must report to prison for an unspecified reason, though a supporting document suggests it is related to his health.

Nacchio was convicted in 2007 on 19 counts of insider trading, accused of selling millions in Qwest stock in early 2001 after private receiving warnings from top executives that the company was deteriorating financially.
